Opening Bell: Cheese, Apples, Honey, Pecans!


Good afternoon!

I hope everyone has been enjoying the holiday break, even though things can get hectic and stressful at times. Let’s coast through the last couple of days of 2019 and look forward to the new year. If you want to eat healthier, make it a priority to include at least one locally produced food item in every meal. Our Growers work hard to give us lots of options for delicious and healthy food so look around the market and see what’s available every week.

Check it out: White River Creamery has new cheese varieties listed in limited quantities. St. Joseph Urban Farm has some nice veggies, including beautiful Cherokee lettuce, green onions, and leafy greens. Organic lettuce is available from Rattle’s Garden, and Drewry Orchard has some amazing apples! The ground isn’t frozen so now is a great time to plant some Best in Show garlic plants from Cedar Rock Ridge. You’ll be harvesting big, beautiful heads of garlic in June.

Remember to feed our feathered friends during the colder months when fewer bugs are available. We will have suet cakes for birds on the extras table every Friday for only $1.

We’ve been having a lot of excellent items on the extra table lately. Earlier shoppers get the best selection. We are normally ready for customers to start arriving around 3 PM if you happen to be out and in the area. Just text me to see if we’re ready.

Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. Four instance, type in the word “sale” and see what pops up. We have over 500 items available now!

Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!

And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)
